On September 23, on the 8th floor of Building E, the University of Social Sciences and Humanities held a Gala night to celebrate World Tourism Day (September 27) called “FTS Show”. The program was organized by the Youth Union - Association of the Faculty of Tourism, and received the attention and response of many students in the faculty.

The program had the presence of Dr. Pham Hong Long (Head of Tourism Faculty), Dr. Nguyen Ngoc Dung (Chairman of Tourism Faculty Union), MSc. Dinh Nhat Le (Political Assistant and Student Affairs); Comrade Nguyen Thi Bich Dao and Comrade Tran Thai Uyen (Representatives of the School Youth Union Executive Committee); Ms. Bui Thi Nhan (Director of Ecosea Travel - Representative of RTC Club); Mr. Nguyen Hoai Nam (In charge of the national class waiting room at Noi Bai International Airport); Ms. Trinh Thi Thu Nga (Head of Ocean Edu Training Department); guest singer Tung Anh (Contestant of The Voice); representatives of the University of Culture, University of Commerce and University of Industry. In which, the judges of this year's competition are: Dr. Pham Hong Long; Ms. Bui Thi Nhan and singer Tung Anh.

Before the final night, the Organizing Committee held an online preliminary round to select the 4 best teams to enter the next round. Accordingly, the teams registering for the contest will send a clip no longer than 3 minutes related to the theme "Hanoi - a time of memories" to the email of the Organizing Committee (no limit on the form). The entries will be updated on the fanpage "Tuoi Tre Du Lich Nhan Van" and the teams will have 4 days from September 6 to September 10 to call for votes for their team. The judges will calculate points based on the number of likes and shares to select the teams with the highest number of votes. At the end of the preliminary round, the four teams that will continue to round 2 and round 3 include teams from: K62 Travel Services, K62 Hotel Management, K60 Travel Services and K59 Tourism.

Round 2 is the “Staging” round. The teams will have 15 minutes to perform their performances according to the program’s theme “Hanoi – a time of memories”. The performances were carefully rehearsed and staged by the contestants, creating many emotions for the audience. In particular, the musical performance “Hanoi – a time of glory” by Storm team – K62 Hotel Management received the maximum score from the judges. The musical caused many emotions when recreating the changes of Hanoi through each layer of time, the atmosphere of the days of the capital’s liberation in 1975. Thereby, it brought a meaningful message when reminding young people that although they live in a peaceful time, they still must not forget the contributions of their ancestors who died to bring peace to the nation. At the end of round 2, with the absolute score, K62 Hotel Management officially entered round 3, along with two teams with less points, K62 Travel Services and K59 Tourism.

The third round is the behavioral round. The three teams will take turns drawing a judge who will ask their team questions and answer the questions within 2 minutes. The questions are all closely related to the topic of Hanoi such as: "When did the name Hanoi 36 streets come from and what are your feelings about Hanoi's Old Quarter?"; "If you could take your friends to visit a place in Hanoi, where would you take them? Why?" The teams were all calm and gave smart answers, using the knowledge they had learned to convince the judges. The behavioral round took place in a lively and open atmosphere, receiving the cheers of a large audience because this was the round that decided the outcome of the competition.

In the end, the awards went to:

- First prize: K62 Hotel Management

- Second prize: K62 Travel Services

- Third Prize: K59 Tourism

- Encouragement prize: K60 Travel Services

Also in the contest, Ms. Bui Thi Nhan - Director of Ecosea Travel - Representative of RTC office also announced the theme of World Tourism Day 2017. Accordingly, this year's theme is: "Sustainable tourism - The way to development". This is the message that the Secretary General of the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) Taleb Rifai wants to send to everyone, in order to give everyone a clearer view of conscious tourism through actions: Respecting nature, respecting culture, respecting the welcoming community.

Previously, Dr. Pham Hong Long - Head of the Faculty of Tourism Studies expressed his deep gratitude to the attention of distinguished guests and travel companies, who have always supported and created conditions for the faculty to organize activities like this. This year's program received support from tourism organizations, in which Ocean Edu representative had a scholarship awarded to the Faculty of Tourism Studies right in the framework of the final night.

The contest is truly a useful playground for students studying at the Faculty of Tourism, because this is an opportunity for them to improve their knowledge, and at the same time be more aware of cultivating knowledge about culture, society, and history. Through that, they will have a solid knowledge base about famous landscapes across the country, and at the same time contribute to affirming the position of Vietnamese tourism in the international arena.

The theme of this year's "FTS Show" competition is "Hanoi - a sky of memories". "Hanoi - a famous but also too familiar tourist destination. When talking about Hanoi tourism, we often think of city tours around famous monuments, bustling commercial centers, or tours around the old quarter with familiar addresses. More and more people, especially young people - those who are burning with the desire to explore and discover, are starting to look for other lands and seem to forget Hanoi.

So how can Hanoi tourism develop sustainably? How can Hanoi have the attraction that matches its potential?

The message that the FTS Show Organizing Committee brings this year is: “As dynamic and creative tourism students with new and unique perspectives, explore Hanoi in your own way, find interesting and new experiences in a place that seems too familiar.

And Hanoi with its ancient cultural features, old street corners, traditional craft villages, Hanoians' hobbies... in 'a time of nostalgia' is perhaps a suggestion for you..."

The theme “Hanoi – a time of nostalgia” was presented by the teams throughout the competition, from the start of round 1 on September 5 to the final night on September 23.
